Table - best surf conditions forecast for Kennebunk Beach over the next 16 days.
G'day, Rusty here, and I gotta be straight with you—this stretch of coast is looking pretty flat and sad for the next couple of weeks. We’ve got Kennebunk Beach as the only option, and it’s a sheltered setup that just isn’t catching any decent energy. The whole 16-day window is a write-off for proper waves, so don’t bother waxing up just yet.
Right now, Friday the 10th of July, we’ve got a tiny 2ft swell from the ESE at 8 seconds, with a cross-off breeze, but the combined energy is a weak 77, and it’s just poor surf. That’s the story all the way through—nothing but small, weak, or messy conditions. The swell never gets above 5ft until Tuesday the 21st of July, when a 6ft bump from the SSE shows up, but with a short 6-second period and a cross-onshore wind, it’s choppy and no good. The combined energy climbs to 183 (moderate) but the quality is still poor.
The one small highlight is Thursday the 16th of July, afternoon. We get a 4ft swell from the south with a super short 4-second period, but the wind goes glassy—that’s rare. Still, the combined energy is only 60, and the waves are weak and crumbly. It’s not worth paddling out for.
Even the offshore wind days later in the window, like Sunday the 19th and Monday the 20th of July, only have 2ft to 2ft waves. Clean, but tiny. There’s no standout, no day to get excited about. The water temp is about average for the time of year, so no surprises there.
Honestly, for the next 16 days, this region is a flat spell. It’s more of a kiteboarding or swimming situation than a surf one. Keep an eye on the forecasts, but for now, grab a coffee and watch the tide.

Information about the Kennebunk Beach Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for Kennebunk Beach provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at Kennebunk Beach can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our Kennebunk Beach surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (Kennebunk Beach) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for Kennebunk Beach may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
